Amarinth has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

put in the way you have just done, kalimac and child, it just suddenly becomes clear to me the other missing element in tolkien's equation of sacrifice -- all must unify and strive as hard as possible, but it is up to the supreme being to complete, or validate if you will, the goal. one cannot do without the One, however great the sacrifice, as shown in frodod's case. i see now, more profoundly the christian influence of this particular aspect. i've always concentrated on the idea that for change to happen all must work for it, but now i see the other complement to the idea, and am all the more glad for it.
